perf stat: Fix printing field separator in CSV metrics output
In 'perf stat' with CSV output option, number of fields in metrics output is not matching with number of fields in other event output lines. Sample output below after applying patch to fix printing os->prefix. # ./perf stat -x, --per-socket -a -C 1 ls S0,1,82.11,msec,cpu-clock,82111626,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized S0,1,2,,context-switches,82109314,100.00,24.358,/sec ------ ====> S0,1,,,,,,,1.71,stalled cycles per insn The above command line uses field separator as "," via "-x," option and per-socket option displays socket value as first field. But here the last line for "stalled cycles per insn" has more separators. Each csv output line is expected to have 8 field separators (for the 9 fields), where as last line has 9 "," in the result. Patch fixes this issue. The counter stats are displayed by function "perf_stat__print_shadow_stats" in code "util/stat-shadow.c". While printing the stats info for "stalled cycles per insn", function "new_line_csv" is used as new_line callback. The fields printed in each line contains: "Socket_id,aggr nr,Avg,unit,event_name,run,enable_percent,ratio,unit" The metric output prints Socket_id, aggr nr, ratio and unit. It has to skip through remaining five fields ie, Avg,unit,event_name,run,enable_percent. The csv line callback uses "os->nfields" to know the number of fields to skip to match with other lines. Currently it is set as: os.nfields = 3 + aggr_fields[config->aggr_mode] + (counter->cgrp ? 1 : 0); But in case of aggregation modes, csv_sep already gets printed along with each field (Function "aggr_printout" in util/stat-display.c). So aggr_fields can be removed from nfields. And fixed number of fields to skip has to be "4". This is to skip fields for: "avg, unit, event name, run, enable_percent" This needs 4 csv separators. Patch removes aggr_fields and uses 4 as fixed number of os->nfields to skip. After the patch: # ./perf stat -x, --per-socket -a -C 1 ls S0,1,79.08,msec,cpu-clock,79085956,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized S0,1,7,,context-switches,79084176,100.00,88.514,/sec ------ ====> S0,1,,,,,,0.81,stalled cycles per insn Fixes: 92a61f64 ("perf stat: Implement CSV metrics output") Reported-by: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Athira Jajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Tested-by: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@arm.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Nageswara R Sastry <rnsastry@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221205042852.83382-1-atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
